After googleing it, I found a good tutorial on Stacy's Sweet Shop. I modified a few things to make it more simple for me (less homemade more store bought). To see the original Melted Snowman Cookie, and meet the inventor herself, go check out Meaghan (great name) @ The Decorated Cookie! Here's what I used: •1 package Betty Crocker Sugar Cookie Mix•10 large marshmallows•Betty Crocker Cookie Icing (white and orange)•Wilton Decorating Icing Tubes in Black, Red, Green, Blue and Pink***it would have been a lot cheaper if I had just made the icing myself, see Stacy's tutorial for a good recipe)*** Here's what I did: •Mix cookie mix according to directions, or prepare your favorite cut out sugar cookie recipe, then just grab a golf ball sized chunk and squish it down until it's about 1/4-1/2 inch thick.

There, though, the resemblance stops, since banitsas are built up using layers of buttered phyllo dough. The filling of the savory type can involve eggs, feta or other white cheese, and sometimes yogurt. The soft filling ingredients are layered alternately with the phyllo dough, and the whole business is then baked (although sometimes, in its fast-food form, it's fried: and you'll sometimes hear people in Bulgaria complaining about the presence of too much oil in the finished product). Savory forms of banitsa can include spinach, herbs, milk, or pumpkin. The recipes...
